The code running this live visitor map was audited by both Claude.ai as well as chatGPT and below are their final verdicts:

🎯 What The Code Does

See Code on Github

Backend Tracking

Tracks every visitor on every page of website
Captures: IP address, geolocation (city, country, coordinates), page URL, browser, timestamp → IPs are anonymized before being stored
Uses free ip-api.com service for geolocation (cached for 30 days per IP)
Stores data in MySQL database
Auto-cleanup: Deletes old records (runs daily)

Frontend Display

Interactive world map with day / night overlay
Green markers = Live visitors
Blue markers = Past visitors
Updates every 15 seconds without disrupting user interaction
Clickable markers show: city, country, page, browser, coordinates, time ago
Real-time stats: Live visitor count, last update time
Table of currently visited pages with visitor counts

👤 User Experience (UX)

Visitors being tracked

Zero impact – invisible tracking
No cookies, no consent needed (server-side only)
~50-100ms added page load (first visit only, then cached)

User viewing the Map

Beautiful, interactive visualization
Can zoom / pan freely without interruption
See exactly where visitors are and what they’re browsing
Auto-updates every 15 seconds seamlessly in background
Mobile-friendly, responsive design

⚡ Performance Impact

Loading Speed

Pages WITHOUT shortcode:

+50-100ms (geolocation API call, cached for 30 days)
+20-30ms (one database INSERT / UPDATE)
Total: ~70-130ms – negligible for most sites

Pages WITH shortcode (map page)

Concerns this current page only
Initial load: +200KB (Leaflet library + Terminator plugin for day / night shifts)
Updates every 15 seconds: +5-10KB (AJAX JSON response)
First paint delay: ~200-300ms
Subsequent updates: Imperceptible

Database Impact

Low traffic (<1,000 visits / day): ✅ Zero concerns
Medium traffic (1,000-10,000 visits / day): ✅ Fine with current optimization
High traffic (>10,000 visits / day): ⚠️ Monitor table size
- With cleanup: ~100-500 MB steady state
- Indexes ensure fast queries even with millions of rows
- Consider upgrading to dedicated geolocation service (reduces API calls)

Memory / CPU

Minimal – one simple query per page load
AJAX endpoint optimized with LIMIT 1000 on past visitors
Daily cleanup runs during low-traffic hours

🔒 Privacy & Compliance

GDPR / Privacy Considerations

✅ No cookies, no consent needed
✅ Anonymization of IPs implemented
✅ Stores IP addresses server-side only
✅ Data retention policy (90 days)
✅ Purpose: Analytics / security
✅ Added to privacy policy in Site Policies

🏆 Code Quality

Strengths:

✅ Clean, well-structured PHP / JavaScript
✅ Proper WordPress hooks and AJAX
✅ SQL injection protection (prepared statements)
✅ Error handling and fallbacks
✅ No debug code in production
✅ Efficient queries with proper indexes
✅ Auto-cleanup prevents bloat
✅ Responsive, modern UI
